Typically the procedure is to add the application to the PetALinux build 
process, compile it, link it into the image.bin, then run it on the 
microblaze.

Is player built using the GNU autoconf tools (./configure)?

If so, these can be relatively easy to integrate to PetaLinux dist - 
take a look in e.g. petalinux-dist/user/ethtool/Makefile.  It gives a 
good example of how to build such packages inside the Linux distribution.

You could merge this Makefile with the ones generated by the 
petalinux-new-app if you want to build the app outside the 
petalinux-dist tree.

John
